I am a cheerful morning person. I was married to a “Not Before Coffee” grouch for a number of years. My standing instructions were to leave the bedroom quietly, and stay gone for at least an hour, two would be better, and when I came back, I’d best have coffee!!!
I like mornings, but let’s still be quiet. Even 3000+ years ago they knew: The man who greets his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. Proverbs 27:14.
43 years and my husband still hasn’t figured out how to keep quiet for the first hour after I’m up and it’s only gotten worse since he retired. Now he’s home 7 mornings instead of 2. Lord help me.
I don’t drink coffee, but today’s strip is spot on with how I feel about mornings. It takes my brain at least 20-30 minutes of waking up before it is ready to process anything other than a “Good morning” from someone. It’s one of the reasons why I started every day at 5:30 in the morning when I was working…no one else showed up until 7:00 a.m. at which time my brain was fully functional and ready to interact with the rest of the world.

With my husband and me, it was usually the other way around. I needed to talk to wake up and he needed quiet and coffee first.

We’re not grouchy. It’s just that other people are too perky.

Even the cats don’t bother me until my coffee is at least brewing.
